mr. johnson. guest: goal of immigration reform should be to end undocumented immigration, as we know it. everybody should be on board that, that is the goal. having undocumented immigrants in the united states is not good for anybody, not good for us or them f. there are employers out immigration system to further exploitation to choose immigrants over qualified workers, those employers should be punished. set up to system is make sure immigration is used to ill legitimate gaps in the labor force. i believe in enforcement, make sure employers are playing by rules and they are preferring u.s. workers over mmigrant workers, but where we have legitimate needs for immigrant workers, then we should allow our immigration fill those gaps. it is what we've been doing for served us ars, it's well. it is time to update the immigration system to make it fit for our economy of today. did you answer the caller's question about whether the immigration system is hurting african americans in country? guest: the i

mr. johnson? guest: i agree we have a problem with undocumented immigration, we have too much undocumented immigration. the immigration coming to the united states should be legal. the problem is that we have an immigration system that has stuck its head in the sand in terms of the economic and labor force realities of today. the truth is that we do have a lot of jobs growing in the high end of the scale spectrum and , have a lot of gaps at the low end of the scale spectrum in the labor market. that is not an insult to u.s. workers. him and u.s. workers are moving out of those jobs, unskilled labor like housekeeping and taking care of the elderly, because they're getting better educated and they are getting older themselves. the problem is that our immigration system has no way for legal immigrants to come into the united states to do that work. there is no temporary worker visa for somebody to take care of the elderly, this is no, there is only 5000 green cards permanent visas available for those

mr. johnson. i applaud you. you are doing a fantastic job sitting next to a man who i come in my view, see as a racist. >> let's not call names here. what is your question? caller: my question is, mr. johnson, he is doing the good work. my husband and i have a business. we hire immigration. we hire illegal as well as legal immigrants area -- immigrants. >> how do you hire illegal immigrants your business? caller: i hire them because i want to. there is no such thing as illegal. we got your point, michelle. unless you want to respond. >> this is not a time for name-calling. this is a time for solving problems. written was a book called fable of the bees. it ultimately influenced -- they make this important point about labor implementation. exploitation labor , if you can condition them to conditions.xploited the tierney of low expectations takes hold. illegal immigrants do not expect raises or a career path. it is a kind of tierney for people to justify, on economic grounds, knowing to theeration factor makes bar

mrs. johnson's first doers luncheon. received johnson credentials from five newly appointed ambassadors.dentials was more symbol than substance but -- substance.is there were many signs during the past year that spoke well for a more stable community and president johnson welcomed any chance. -- the nations of latin america were moving toward economic integration. many asian nations were working to strengthen their economies. africa was seeing the beginnings of regional cooperation. but trouble on many fronts persisted. the latest and most potentially dangerous, north korea. months, we have seen a stepped-up campaign of violence against south korea and american groups. groups were sent into south korea. on this very day, january 19, a 31 man team of north koreans invaded seoul. their mission was to murder the president of the republic of korea. the president first received word slightly after 2:00 in the morning, january 23. within hours, morning newspapers would carry the headlines, that would anger americans across the country. >> this week, the north koreans committed another aggressi

the big corporation ok and i'm a sprayed he's using this issue to promote that agenda even more mr johnson lists lists imagine for a second your chief. term democrat strategists you're the midterm elections if you show the world or the americas or give us some concessions on the border security then you would have a backlash from the states where you have a huge percentage of immigrants if you move forward with your position then the states where your own people are running for reelection which were won by donald trump might not vote for you so how to strike a delicate balance in this situation. it's a very difficult needle to thread i think that perhaps what if i were to guess what chuck schumer is doing is he is trying to send six signals to the democratic base that he has tried has had a good faith effort on tucker perhaps there will be a separate vote on tucker down the road which ultimately won't go anywhere because the house want to prove it in the president would not approve it but at least there might be a symbolic vote on it but i think at the end of the day schumer he can he can

kind of stand out of him but in the big picture the democrats have gone closer to the republicans mr johnson if this is a political game what if it backfires ninety ninety six two thousand and thirteen the republicans tried the same tactic it really backfired is there any potential for this to backfire on the democrats who would be ultimately seen by the americas of the we an impediment to this deal. well i think the democrats could be playing with fire here five as as report noted five democratic senators actually voted with republicans to continue the government funding these are senators who represent states that president trump one in twenty sixteen and they are up for election this year states like missouri west virginia north dakota indiana and so those senators are polling suggests that in those states those senators will be getting the blame if the government doesn't continue with the funding and the darker. issue is not one that really resonates with voters in those states those states tend to have low immigrant low minority populations by and large and so while this may play well i

mr. johnson and pointed me out to him. the first expression which came to his face and which i think was the true index of his heart was one of bitter contempt and aversion. seeing that i observed him, he tried to assume a more friendly appearance, but it was too late. it was useless to close the door when all within had been seen. his first glance was the frown of the man. the second was the bland and sickly smile of the demagogue. i turned to mrs. dorsey and said, whatever andrew johnson may be, he certainly is no friend of our race. this turned out to be true to the nth degree. he was probably understating the claim. johnson was the person who actually despised african-american people. you think about the -- it's hard to say -- the problem with, the tragedy that at the moment when the face of african-american people in the united states were being decided, he was at the helm of the government. johnson had been a person who did not care for slavery, but he did not like slavery because he thought that it was bad for the p

mr johnson's suggestion could be seen as one of those big ideas, so it would be interpreted, if you likers may for not being radical enough. norman, is this really about a boris leadership bid? i don't think it's quite as simple as that. it is partly about boris johnson trying quite as simple as that. it is partly about borisjohnson trying to shield himself from accusations that he was telling lies about £350 million more for the nhs. he wants to be vindicated. part of it, too, isa to be vindicated. part of it, too, is a view amongst brexit supporters that mrs may needs to strike a more optimistic and confident argument about brexit, so why not say there will be a big nhs dividend from brexit? and part of it mayjust be that boris johnson brexit? and part of it mayjust be that borisjohnson is determined not to sit silent. he has spoken out previously on brexit, setting out his red lines. now he is setting out his red lines. now he is setting out his red lines on the nhs. norman, for now, thank you very much. and it may play is in the bbc newsroom summary of the rest the day's news. englan

mr. johnson, i've got your results, and there's some very good news. you're going to live... til february 8." ( laughter ) the two day shutdown almost didn't happen at all because on friday, chuck schumer met with trump at the white house, and they "came close to a deal over cheeseburgers." ( laughter ) that's smart. get him all burgered up first. although if they're eating burgers, i think that means they were negotiating in trump's bed. ( laughter ) looks very comfortable. looks very nice! like you've never eaten in bed! ( laughter ) didn't work out. shutdown over the weekend. so today, in exchange for voting for the short-term funding, democrats got six years of the children's health insurance program, which everybody including the republicans wanted. and they got an agreement by mitch mcconnell to hold a vote on daca by february 8. and senate minority leader and man whose cheeks are far-sighted, chuck schumer, is very confident it's going to happen. >> i expect the majority leader to fulfill his commitment to the senate, to me, and to the bipartisan group, and abide by th

mr. johnson told me about hulk hogan. in january of 1996, i saw "jumanji" for the first time.you told me to bring it. >> last interview i said, "let me see the ticket." this is really special, man. i'm not quite too sure if i have anything. i'll tell you what. when hulk hogan came into the wwf in 1983 or '84 -- i can't remember -- and this is when he was getting ready to blow up. vince mcmahon said, "you're gonna be my guy. i'm giving you the ball. i'm ging want you to go." hulkamania running wild, right? right there, like, right when he came in, he was wrestling in madison square garden. he had a white headband that said hulkster. do you remember that, dude? >> yeah, i remember seeing that. >> he came in the ring, and i was at madison square garden. i was sitting front row with my mom and i was watching the matches, and he came out and he was -- i'll never forget -- he was wrestling paul orndorff, mr. wonderful. he takes the thing off and he throws it to the crowd, and i caught it. and it was a big, like, nerd-out moment. >> really? >> we cry nerd tears. >> [ laughing ] yeah,

mr. johnson, what do you think?, i think politically speaking the president had no option but to do what he did i mean, here's a -- here was a candidate whose entire campaign was based upon strength, strength in every way. strength of the american economy, the american worker, america first, and in this case he needed to do what he did, which was to walk back secretary mnuchin's comments and talk about his preference for a strong u.s. dollar >> steve, it seems if nothing else, the market took the president's comments as a signal that there wasn't some kind of orchestrated kind of all points bulletin in the administration to go out and knock the dollar down and they took some heart in that i do wonder. the question, what could the administration even do if it chose to try and weaken the dollar those days are not with us when a government could even do that. >> that's important. all the talk about the dollar is a little overblown i think the president came forward and -- when you're treasury secretary, i think you get

mr. johnson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from louisiana is recognized. mr. johnson: we heard some outrageous remarks from our colleagues on the other side. i heard the argument that this is unnecessarily legislating medical standards. they said this should be a matter of medical judgment? really, a commitment to the sanctity of human life is essential to who we are as americans and human beings. they have argued this is a solution in search of the problem but ignore the data. between 2003 and 2014, 588 of the infant deaths included a record that the cause of death was termination of pregnancy affecting the fetus and a newborn. he c.d.c. this could ben underestimate. and my firsthand legitimatg against the abortion industry in louisiana that that industry always underreports their numbers of termination. yesterday, i spoke with brandy in baton rouge, she is a survivor of a failed abortion attempt and now lives with severe disabilities. she is a passionate advocate for life. every single one of us should be. the most important responsibility of a just governmen

mr. johnson signed that bill and it became the law of the land. and so, in america now, we have a civil rights bill. and i'm happy to report to you that, by and large, that bill is being implemented in communities all across the south. we have seen some surprising levels of compliance, even in some communities in the state of mississippi. issippi, things are getting better. amy goodman: dr. martin luther king, speaking in london, december 7, 1964. we'll return to the speech after this break. [break] amy goodman: this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in this democracy now! exclusive, we return to dr. martin luther king jr. in his own words from a recording recently discovered the pacifica radio archives. this is from december 7th, 1964, in london, just days before dr. king received the nobel peace prize in oslo, norway. rev. martin luther king jr.: we can never forget the fact that just this summer three civil rights workers were brutally murdered near philadelphia, mississippi. all of this reveals to

mr. johnson said but if you par through it. comps where not where they should be.do we see first i think we see sub55 then maybe takeanother dip at starbucks. >> in the coffee space, i would pick dunkin. but i think the tail win is going to be their effective rate is middle 30 i think you are going to see that become an incredible tail wind >> really. >> looking at the tape what they said is they are effective tax rate not their net. their effective tax rate will be 26%, seven percentage points less than their previous guidance i think that's positive. i think the starbucks story is one that every time they report i feel like this stock does this and every time it is an opportunity. stock has done largely nothing over the last two years. i think they are executing and kevin gianson, that's his forte as the ceo they are glowing globally. multisales channel i'm long in the name this does not bother me. >> 700 stores open gloebldly in the first quarter. staggering. >> there is two on this block. >> yeah, exactly. >> it is crazy i guess there is more to saturate out th

mr. johnson referenced has been removed from the investigation related to the president because of his own political bias and some of the text messages that he had sent to another doj personnel. so you know, a lot of questions have been swirling around. we need to get to the bottom of this. we know the department of justice's inspector general has opened an investigation into this matter. we shouldn't jump to conclusions, but we should figure out everything that's going on and let the public be made aware of it, because the fbi and all of its many brave men and women, their agents are the top law enforcement agency this world has ever seen, and we want any questions about impropriety to be resolved. >> as you know, raj, last night, before you guys left the white house, the president met informally with a gaggle of white house correspondents, and he was irate, very angry that a whole bunch of text messages between these two fbi officials had gone missing from december 2016 until may of 2017. he compared it to, you know, to watergate, with them missing 18 minutes, as you know, on that tape.

mr. johnson. the regular has agreed to allow us to take of the people in the queue before we go to him, so mr. johnson, the floor is yours. >> thank you very much. and again congratulations on your chairmanship. this is your first hearing, and i think it's a good one. dr. hall, i want to echo my thanks to you and your team coming by my office and having a meeting a few weeks ago that we did. i don't really know how to frame this question that i have, but i've heard you say a couple of times in your testimony, you know, we used this model for this, we use that model for that. it seems to me that there's an element of science and an element of art in the work that you guys are doing, that there is an element of subjectivity and objectivity. some fact, some assumption and speculation. i'm a pretty simpleminded guy. is there not a way to develop as scoring methodology that applies to everything so that members and their staffs understand? i mean, we have talked extensively here about the need for budg

mr. johnson, i yield to you as much time as you may consume. mr. johnson: i want to thank the gentleman from new jersey and all our colleagues here tonight for standing for the sanctity of human life. was born on january 30, 1972, 357 days before roe v. wade became the law of the land. before i came to congress, i defended real jus freedom and the sanctity of human life. we often stated very simply what aye said in this chamber many times, this is part of the very foundation of our republic. it was the british philosopher, g.k. chesterton who said america is the only nation founded on a the , it's outlined in declaration of independence. we hold these truths that all men are create ed call,er that endowed by their createor with certain inalienable rights, the right to life, liberty, and the pursue sut -- purr suste happiness. they understood because we're made in the image of a holy god, every single person has inestimable digny and value and it's not realed -- related to our race, sose yo economic value, where we went to school, how talented we are

johnson. holiday merchandise did not work, what's going on? >> mrs. multiple reports here. one is china is unbelievable i thought the problem was maybe it was small banks >> howard, the formal ceo that the mall could not bring them down there was a mistake in the drinks executio executions these are all things and after day is not so good so what happens is you got this like wow, i wish i can own china and maybe i just own the u.s. and the rest of the world is a dividend play. >> you wish there was a yum china equivalent of starbucks? >> yes >> think that'll ever happen >> yes >> really? >> yeah, i already planned it. i think the company feels there is this synergy. they have to fix the u.s., a percent away fixing it means having the right thing during the day and the afternoon and somehow having a drink that's worth paying 5 bucks or 6 bucks for it. remember mcdonald's had such better comps >> did they talk about anything in terms of a driver >> yeah. >> or reacceleration, that's where investors seem to focus right now and their stock is under performed. >> they have to co

mr. navarro described and chairman johnson described, how difficult is it? if we simply say we are going to focus all of our attention on that one point of development before it expands up to the points of entry into this country, how difficult is it to move that around the world, mr. baldwin? senator, thank you for your question. the angers to that is it's very easy to do. there are multiple countries that stand ready to take up where china would leave off. >> why not if you are looking at that kind of project margin. so i think it's really important that we not spend all of our time here simply focused on china. we have to understand because of what chairman johnson and at the time chairman carper continue to talk about the insatiable appetite for these kinds of drugs, we have to understand that while we are trying to deal with demand, we can't let supply come in in the amount that it is because it has driven the street price down and it has created an opportunity for transition from prescription drugs to illegal street drugs. the pill, i'm glad you brough

mr johnson has had a difficult brief at universities with the row over tuition fees so it has been quite ministers and we have seen a steady stream of women going in to number 10. on the former, we have seenjohn hayes, philip then, mark carney, all minister of gave certain vintage either resigning stepping down. in terms of the reshuffling of the deckchairs, the housing minister has gone to employment, thejustice minister has gone to housing, joe johnson has gone to transport and greg hands stays at trade. in terms of the women, still inside our harriers baldwin, defence minister carolyn bennett and margotjames harriers baldwin, defence minister carolyn bennett and margot james who isa carolyn bennett and margot james who is a business minister. the the bottom tier of the ministerial ladder. i am assuming mrs me is hoping to push them up a promotion for some of the female ministers. that fits with what we have been briefed about the two of the reshuffle, the hope of team mrs may, it will be a moment where they can promote younger mps to change the complexion of this government. thank you

mr trump. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, said there would be mass protests like these but peaceful ones. boris johnsonof putting us lincolnshire uk relations at risk. here we have many others encouraging large scale street protests against him. ithink large scale street protests against him. i think it must be part of his calculation. that is the point, in his first year of office, donald trump has visited the world. visiting most other g7 countries and other european nations, including france, germany and belgium, the uk is notable for its absence. the us ambassador says that the fortress of glass represents a new era between the us and the uk, a strengthening of the relationship. the fear of the diplomats is that the president's decision not to open the building signals for him, at least, that britain is not a priority. ministers hope it will change when he comes, if he comes. it's an important diplomatic partner for the uk. we want the close eest possible relationship with the us and look forward to a visit at some point in the future. for now, the closest we will get to seeing donald trump is this

mr. chairman. >> senator johnson. >> you, mr. chairman. dr. hall, i want to go to kind of the question the chairman was engaged in. in terms of who decides what you score. i guess, who do you report to? the reason i'm asking is that after the election, knowing that we are going to be bring up healthcare, started to request scores on what would happen if we were to repeal market reforms? i did not get very far. on march 23, 2017, i sent a letter to you. signed by the chairman and 20 of my other colleagues. 22 republican senators requesting, pretty simple, we requested the congressional budget office in consultation estimate their budgetary effects of repealing the obamacare insurance regulations. now, you are where the reason we need that, first want to understand what policies might cause, but also there is no way that we could even bring it in front of the senate we do not have a score to present. so this is a basic piece of information we needed. i want to know, why did we ever get that score? again, this is four months before this came to a

mr. chairman. >> senator johnson. >> thank you, mr. chairman. dr. hall, i want to go to kind -- line oftion questioning the chairman was engaged in. in terms of who decides what you score, who do you report to? after the election, knowing that we are going to be bringing up health care i started formally requesting scores on what would happen if we repeal mark reforms. did not get very far, so one march 23, 2017 i sent a letter to you signed by the chairman and 20 of my colleagues, 22 republican senators requesting the congressional budget office in consultation -- estimate their budgetary effects of appealing the obamacare insurance regulations. you are aware of the reasons we need that. just understand what policies might cause, but there is no way we could bring it in front of the senate if we do not have a score to perp -- resent -- present the parliamentarian. i want to know, why did we ever get that score? this is four months before this came to a head. the only response we got is, cannot do it. you do all kinds of different things, make all k
